Crossing the Gulf Stream to the Bahamas

"Never cross with a north wind!" Can you hear it? Pam Wall's little energetic voice? She repeated this warning many times when we first saw, heard and met her at the Miami Boat Show back in February, 2015. I had no idea that amazing little enthusiastic woman would soon thereafter change my life, by encouraging me and Phillip to sail our boat to the Bahamas. But we did! This past December (Merry late Christmas!) And it was amazing. While crossing the Gulf Stream (that wicked current that rips up the east coast) was definitely one of our biggest obstacles in getting to the Bahamas, and we approached it with a healthy fear, we were thrilled to make it safely across when we checked into West End and realized we had just done it. All the work and prep and planning and we had done it. Sailed our boat to the Bahamas. Fun video for you all here from our crossing along with a blog post and photos to boot -- https://havewindwilltravel.com/2018/01/29/bv4-video-across-the-gulf-stream-to-west-end/ Enjoy!
